Recommended Platform Bike Rack that will Clear Large 35 Inch Spare Tire on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
Hello, From the hitch pin hole to the outer tire it measures approximately 12 1/2 to 13 inches. At a local bike shop I tried the Thule T2 Pro, didnt fit. I have a 35 inch tire, I have attached a picture to better ilustrate the issues that I am having with my vehicle trying to find a bike that that would accommodate an electric bike such as the Stromer ST2 that weighs approx 60lbs. I was recommended the Thule T2 classic, not sure if you have others to recommend See attached~ Thank you for your assistance~

I have the solution we're looking for in the Saris SuperClamp # SA4025F.
It can support 2 bikes up to 60lbs each, to lighten the bike's weight you can remove the battery. The SuperClamp has a lower mounted support bar than the T2 Pro which didn't fit, this will extend out past your large spare tire. The first edge of the inner most wheel cradle is 12 inches, which is where the edge of your spare is at. What's great about this rack is that it has adjustable wheel cradles, so this will allow you to make sure that the wheel cradles and your handle bars are mounted to avoid the spare tire. This bike rack also comes with an integrated cable and bike lock to round out the complete package.
I have linked a the product and a review video of this bike rack to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.
